The mpid Improvement ot General

excited a suspicion in some quarters
that be was playing the 'Oil

The Tammany-hittera are loudly

THE ALABAMA FREE PRESS.
This handsome publication made its
appearance u; der the management
ot Mr. B Wilmer Waddell, editor and
Jas. P. Floyd, publisher, yesterday.
It is published in Browneville, our
quiet and prosperous neighboring
city, on the other bank of the Chat
tahoochee river, in Lee county, Ala,
We said it was a handsome sheet,and
it is, for its press work is good, and
the general mechanical get up ot tb 0
paper would do credit to a laree r
town, while its editorial work shows
a watchfulness for the latest and best
news, and a marked ability to
discuss 1 üblic matters of interest.
But all this will not. make the “Free
Press” a succes unless the people
among whom it is published, and for
whom it is published, appreciate its
mission and do their full duty in the
work of sustaining it. ‘ Paul
may plant and Apollue
may water, but in newspaper lite its
vitality can only be perpetuated by
the parronege of the public. The
Free Press will, under its present
management, do its duty to its coo
stltuency and we will ask for its new
proprietors a liberal support for
them.
A stbange note that raised by H n.
John Sherman, when he objected tn

committee, on the ground that “New

it possible that “New England ideas”

mogul of the republican party? Shift
John might find a good reason now
for coming over to the democracy.
The barkeepers are proving to be
useful as reformers in away not con
templated. In Augusta, inorder to
freeze up the bar-rooms closely of
Sundays, they passed a law prohibit
ing the enteringof a store on Sunday.
But not expecting a rigid construc
tion, merchants in other trades than
the liquor, continued to go to their
stores on Sundays to get their mail.
read letters, etc. This however, did
not suit the pious barkeepers, and
they called on the city authorities to
have the habit stopped, claiming
that they nad the same right to go
into their places ot business that
other people bad. The barkeepers
were right in that, on a dead level.
The Hon, Geo. T. Barnes and Miss,
Octavia Wilson, of Augusta, were
married a day or two ago ia Oharlott
N. Q, Rev. Geo T. Goetchious, per
formed the ceremony.
Mr. Poetmatter, General Vilas aftei
taking the oath of office, kissed his
wife. The N. Y. World thinks that
was a graceful way ot intimating
that all the “mails” in the country
were subordinate in bis devotion to
one female.
The ‘Clamorous outh ’
Fiom the New York Tima.
Fears that were expressed when Mr.
Cleveland invited two southern sena
tors to places in his cabinet that the
“clamorous south” would over
whelm tne administration in the
pursuit of offl ;es io not seem to be
in away to be justified. Reports
from ail sources, even in the journals
most solicitous for Mr. Cleveland’s
safety from the predicted onslaught,
agree that the number of m n from
the south seeking offi e in Washing
ton is far less than the number from
other states. The southern members
of the cabinet have given no sign of
any special desire to find places tor
applio-its from their section, and
Mr.Limar is reported to have reques
ted the assistant attorney-general for
his department to retain his posi
tion.
It is clear that there will be miny
changes io the service in the south,
because there oug it to be many.
In the customs, internal revenue,
and attorney-generals branches of
the service the south has been over
run with men put in office and kept
there tor political purposes. This
has been true for many years, and
though the internal revenue sei vice
has been improved of late, there
remain in it and in the other branches
a great number of worse than use
less appointees. They will gradually
be removed, but their places will not
be Ailed by mere place-hunters. On
thecontrarv, their will be great care
given to the selection of capable men
of good character, who will attend to
their business and not to politics.
The new men will necessarily be
democrats in the great majority of
cases, because it is from that party
that the best selections can be made.
But we shall be greatly disappointed
if they be not efficient and upright
tnen.
Tne “clamorous south” thus far
exists in the imagination of the
northern editor. The south, taken
as a whole, do°s not seem to have
sent as man’ office seekers to Wash
Ington as New York and Illinois
sloue. The reason is clear enough.
The democratic party in the south
has not been based as much upon the
spoils as the same party in the north.
There has not been the same field for
“deals” there as here. The profes
sional politicians are or a different
type, and there is a different public
sentiment behind them. The
southern people are very much in
earnest ip wishing a reform of the
federal service among them, for they
sorely need it. But they feel a dis
tinct pride in having the reform gen
uine and in showing to the country
that they have been sincere and not
partisan in their demand for a change

Potiphar and Pn-iraoh will alwate

had to rely upon for their elevation.
It has brought to them what talent
and executive force could not have
achieved. Many of those who are
making great effort for place and
power will never succeed, just because
they are not of enough importance to
abuse. It is the nature of men—that
is of all genereus and reasonable men
—to gather about those who are per
secuted and defend them, and they
are apt to forget, the fault of those
who are the subject of attack while
attempting to drive back the slander
ers. Persecution is elevation. Helen
Stirk, the Scotch martyr, standing
with her husband at the place of exe
cution, said: “Husband, let ns re
joice to-day; we have lived together a
great many happy years; this is the
happiest time of all our life; you see
we are to be happy together forever.
Be brave now; be brave. I will not
say ‘Good night’ to you, for we shall
soon be in the kingdom of our Father
together.” Persecution shows the
heroes and the heroines. I go into
another department, and I find that
those great denominations of Chris
tians which have been most abused
have spread the most rapidly. No
good man was ever more violently
maltreated than John Wesley—belied
and caricatured and slandered until
one day he stood in a pulpit in Lon
don, and a man arose in the audience
and said: “You were drunk last
night,” and John Wesley said :
“Thank God, the whole catalogue is
now complete. I have been charged
with everything but that!” His fol
lowers were hooted at and maligned
and called by every detestable name
that infernal ingenuity could invent,
but the hotter the persecution the
more rapidly they spread, until you
know what a great host they have be
come and what a tremendous force
for God and the truth they are wield
ing all the world over! Ido not won
der they celebrate their centennial in
Baltimore. It was persecution that
gave Scotland to Presbyterianism.
It was persecution that gave our land
first to civil liberty and afterward to
religious freedom. Yea, I might go
further back and say it was persecu
tion that gave the world the great
salvation of the Gospel. The ribald
mockery, the hungering and thirst
ing, the unjust charge, the ignomini
ous death, when all the force of hell’s
fury was hurled against the Cross, was
the introduction of that religion
which is yet to be the earth’s deliver
ance and our eternal salvation. The
State sometimes said to the church :
“Come, take my hand and I will help
you.” What, was the result? The
church went back and it lost its estate
of holiness and it became ineffective.
At other times the State said to the
church: “I will crush you.” What,
has been the result? After the storms
have spent their fury the church so
far from having lost any of its force,
has increased, and is worth infinitely
more after the assault than before.
Read all history, and you will find
that true. The church is far more in
debted to the opposition of civil gov
ernment than to its approval. The
fires of the stake have onlv been the
torches which Christ held in His
hand by the light of which the church
has marched to her present glorious
position. In the sound of racksand
implements of torture I hear the rum
bling of the Gospel chariot. The
scaffolds of martyrdom have been
been the stairs by which the church
mounted.
Learn also from our subject that
sins will come to exposure. -Long,
long ago had those brothers sold
Joseph into Fgypt. They had made
the old father believe that his favorite
child was dead. They had suppressed
the crime, and it was a profound
secret well kept by the brothers. But
suddenly the secret is out. The
old father hears that his son is in
Egypt, having been sold there by the
malice of his own brothers. How
their cheeks must have burned and
their hearts sunk at the flamingout of
this long suppressed crime. The
smallest iniquity has a thousand
tongues, and they will blab out ex
posure. Saul was sent to destroy the
Canaanites, their sheep and their
oxen; but when he got down there
among the pastures he saw some fine
sheep and oxen too fat to kill, so he
thought he would steal them. No
body would know it. He drove these
stolen sheep and oxen towards home,
but stopped to report to the prophet
how he had executed his mission,
when in the distance the sheep be
gan to bleat and the oxen to bellow.
The secret was out, and Samuel said
to the blushing and confused Saul:
“What meaneth the bleating of a
sheep that I hear and the bellowing
of thecattle?”
Ah! my hearer, you cannot keep an
iniquity still. At just the wrong
time the sheep will bleat and the
oxen will bellow. Achan cannot
steal Babylonish garments without
being stoned to death, nor Arnold be
tray his country without having his
neck stretched. Look over the police
arrests. These thieves, these bur
glars, these counterfeiters,these high
waymen, these assassins, they all
thought they could bury their iniqui
ty so deep down it would never come
to resurrection; but there was some
shoe that answered to the print in the
soil, some false keys in their poses
sion, some bloody knife that whisper
ed of the death, and the public in
dignation and the anathema of out
raged law hurled them into the dun
geon or hoisted them on the gallows.
Francis 1., King of France, stood
counceling with his officers how he
could take his army into Italy, when
Ameril, the fool of the court, leaped
out from a corner of the room and
said: “You had better be consulting
how you will get your army back;”
and it was found that Francis I. and
not Ameril was the fool. Instead of
consulting as to the best way of get
ting into sin you had better consult
as to whether you will be able to get
out of it. If the world does not ex
pose you, you will tell it yourself.
There is an awful power in an aroused
conscience. A highwayman plunged
out upon WhitefieTd as he rode along
on horseback, a sack of money on the
horse, money that he had raised for
orphan asylums, and the highwayman
pu this hand on the gold. Whitefield
turned to him and said “Touch that
if you dare —that belongs to the Lord
Jesus Christ.” And the ruffian slunk
into the forest. Conscience ! Con
science ! The ruffian had a pistol,
but Whitfield shook at him the fin
gerofdoom. Do not think you can
hide any great and protracted sin in
your heart, my brother. In an un
guarded moment it will slip off the
lip, or some slight action may for the
moment set ajar this door that you
wanted to keep closed. But suppose
that in this life you hide it and you
get along with this transgression
burning in your heart, as a ship on
fire within for days hides the flames
from bursting out by keeping down
t he hatches, yet at last in the judg-
ment that iniquity will blaze out be
fore God and the universe.
Learn also from this subject that
there is an inseparable connection
between all events however remote.
The universe is only one thought of
God. Those things which seemed
fragmentary and isolated are only dif
ferent parts of that great thought.
How far apart seemed those two
events: Joseph sold to the Arabian
merchants and his rulership of Egypt,
yet you see in what a mysterious way
God connected the two into one plan.
So the events are linked together.
You who are aged men look back and
group together a thousand things in
your life that, once seemed isolated.
One undivided chain of events reaches
from the garden of Eden to the cross
of Calvary, and thus up to the King
dom of Heaven. There is a relation
between the smallest insect that hums
in the summer air and the archangle
on his throne. God can trace a
direct ancestral line from the blue jay
that next spring will build its nest in
the tree behind the house to some one
of the flock of birds which,when Noah
hoisted the ark’s window, with a
whirr and dash of bright wings went
out to sing over Mount Ararat. The
tulips that will bloom in the garden
next spring are nursed by the snow
flakes. The furthest star on one side
of the universe could not look toward
the furthest star on the other side of
the universe anil say: “You are no
relation tome,” for from that bright
orb a voice of light would ring across
the heavens, responding: “Yes, yes,
we are sisters-” Nothing in God’s
universe swings at loose ends. Acci
dents are only God’s way of turning a
leaf in the book of His eternal de
crees. From our cradle to our grave
there is a path all marked out. Each
event in our life is connected with
every other event in our life. Our
losses may be the most direct road to
our gain. ' Our defeat ;md our victory
are twin brothers. The whole direc
tion of vour life was changed by some
thing which at the time seemed to you
trifling, while some occurence which
seemed tremendous affected you but
little. God’s plans are magnificient
beyond all comprehension. He
moulds us and turns and directs us,
and we know it not. Thousands ot
years are to Him as the flight of a
shuttle. The most terrific occurrence
does not make God tremble. The
most triumphant achievement does
not lift Him into rapture. That one
great thought of God goes out through
the centuries, and nations rise and
fall, and eras pass and the world
changes, but God still keeps the un
divided mastery, linking event to
event and century to century.
We learn also from this story the
propriety of laying up for the future.
During the seven years of plenty
Joseph prepared for the famine, and
when it came he had a crowded store
house. The life of most men in a
worldly respect is divided into years
of plenty and famine. It is seldom
any mar. passes through life without
at least seven years of plenty. Du
ring those seven years your business
bears a rich harvest. You hardly
know where all the money comes from
it comes so fast. Every bargain you
make seems to turn into gold. You
contract few bad debts. You are as
tonished with large dividends. Ybu
invest more and more capita]. You
wonder how men can be content with
a small business, gathering tn only a
few hundred dollars while you reap
thousands. Those are the seven years
of plenty, Now Joseph has time to
preDare for famine, for to almost every
man there do come seven years of
famine. You will be sick, you will
be tin fort unate,yon willjbe defrauded,
there will be hard times, you will be
disappointed, and if you have no
storehouse upon which to fall back,
you may be famine-struck. We have
no admiration for this dening ones’
self all personal comfort and luxury
for the mere pleasure of hoarding up,
this grasping, grasping for the mere
pleasure of seeing how large a pile
you can get, this always being poor
because as soon as a dollar comes in
it is sent ont to see if it can find an
other dollar, so that it can carry it
home on its back. We have a con
tempt for all those things, but there
is an intelligent and noble-minded
forecast which we love to see in men
who have families and kindred de
pending upon them for the blessings
of education and home. God sends
us to the insects for a lesson, which,
while they do not stint themselves in
the present, do not forget their duty
to forecast the future. “Go to the
ant thou sluggard; consider her ways
and be wise; which having no guide,
overseer or ruler, provideth her meat
in the summer and gathereth her food
in the harvest.” Now, there are two
ways of laying up money. One of
these is to put it in stock and deposit
it in bank, and invest it on bond and
mortgage. The other way to lay up
money is giving it away. He is the
safest who makes both ofthese invest
ments. There are in this house men,
who if they lose every dollar they have
in the world, would be millionaires
for eternity. They made the spiritual
investment; but the man who devotes
none of his gains to the cause of
Christ, and looks only for his own
comfort and luxury is not safe. 1
care not how the money is invested.
He acts as the rose if it should say:
“I will hold my breath, and none
shall have a snatch of fragrance from
me until next week; then I will set
all rhe garden afloat with aroma.”
Os course the rose, refusing to breathe
died. But above all, lay up treas
ures in heaven. They never depre
ciate in value. They never are at a
discount. They are always available.
You may feel safe now with your sl,-
000 or $2,000 or SIO,OOO or $20,000 in
come, but what will such an income
be worth after you are dead? Others
will get it. Perhaps some of them
will quarrel about it before you are
buried. They will be so impatient
to get hold of the will they will think
you should be buried one day sooner
than you are buried. They will be
right glad when you aie dea I. They
are only waiting for you to die. What
then will all your earthly accumula
tions be worth? If you gathered it all
in your bosom and walked up with it
to heaven’s gate, it would not pur
chase your admission. Or if allowed
to enter it could not buy you a crown
or a robe, and the poorest saint in
heaven would look down at you and
say: “Where did that pauper come
from?” May we all have treasures in
heaven. Amen!
